MissingManifestResourceException Class
The exception thrown if the main assembly does not contain the resources for the neutral culture, and they are required because of a missing appropriate satellite assembly.
System::Exception

Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The MissingManifestResourceException type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | MissingManifestResourceException() | Initializes a new instance of the MissingManifestResourceException class with default properties. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | MissingManifestResourceException(String) | Initializes a new instance of the MissingManifestResourceException class with the specified error message. |
![]() | MissingManifestResourceException(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) | Initializes a new instance of the MissingManifestResourceException class from serialized data. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | MissingManifestResourceException(String, Exception) | Initializes a new instance of the MissingManifestResourceException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Data | Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional user-defined information about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | HelpLink | Gets or sets a link to the help file associated with this exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | HResult | Gets or sets HRESULT, a coded numerical value that is assigned to a specific exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | InnerException | Gets the Exception instance that caused the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | Message | Gets a message that describes the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | Source | Gets or sets the name of the application or the object that causes the error. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | StackTrace | Gets a string representation of the immediate frames on the call stack. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | TargetSite | Gets the method that throws the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | GetBaseException | When overridden in a derived class, returns the Exception that is the root cause of one or more subsequent exceptions. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetObjectData | When overridden in a derived class, sets the SerializationInfo with information about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | GetType | Gets the runtime type of the current instance. (Inherited from Exception.) In XNA Framework 3.0, this member is inherited from Object::GetType(). In Portable Class Library Portable Class Library, this member is inherited from Object::GetType(). |
![]() ![]() ![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | ToString | Creates and returns a string representation of the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | SerializeObjectState | Occurs when an exception is serialized to create an exception state object that contains serialized data about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
A MissingManifestResourceException is thrown when the attempt to retrieve a resource fails because the resource set for the neutral culture could not be loaded from a particular assembly. Note that even though the exception is thrown when you attempt to retrieve a particular resource, it is caused by the failure to load the resource set rather than the failure to find the resource. The main causes of the exception include the following:
The resource set is not identified by its fully qualified name. For example, if the baseName parameter in the call to the ResourceManager::ResourceManager(String, Assembly) method includes the root name of the resource set without a namespace, but the resource set is assigned a namespace when it is stored in its assembly, the call to the ResourceManager::GetStringmethod throws this exception. You can determine the namespace of the resource set by examining its assembly with a reflection tool such as Ildasm.exe (MSIL Disassembler).
The resource set is identified by its resource file name and its file extension. For example, this exception is thrown if the neutral culture's resource set is named GlobalResources and you supply a value of "GlobalResources.resources" to the baseName parameter of the ResourceManager::ResourceManager(String, Assembly) constructor.
The culture-specific resource set identified in a method call cannot be found, and the fallback resource set cannot be loaded. For example, if you create satellite assemblies for the English (United States) and Russia (Russian) cultures but you fail to provide a resource set for the neutral culture, this exception is thrown if your application's current culture is English (Great Britain).
MissingManifestResourceException uses the HRESULT COR_E_MISSINGMANIFESTRESOURCE, which has the value 0x80131532.
MissingManifestResourceException uses the default Equals implementation, which supports reference equality.

|---|
We strongly recommend that your main assembly contain a neutral set of resources, so if a satellite assembly is unavailable, your application will not fail. |
